Support with food shopping

Overview

Shopping for food and other essential items can be challenging when you are older or living with a disability. 

If you can, ask for support from people around you. 

Friends, family and trusted neighbours are often more than willing to help. 

They may be happy to:

  • pick up essential items for you when they do their own regular shop
  • take you with them when they go shopping
  • help you unpack and put your shopping away
